Notes

Presenter Thandie Newton, was stuck onstage when the link to Al Gore wasn't up yet since Al Gore wasn't ready, made the gaffe "saying that you've been to Live Earth is as sexy as saying you're 'hung like a warlord'". She also recited a 'knock-knock' joke to the crowd.^{[citation needed]}
Chris Rock's explicit language during the introduction of the band Red Hot Chili Peppers has already caused problems with Canadian TV networks and the BBC. Rock is said to be fined for around $9,000.^{[citation needed]} Rock also used the word "Nigger" while being interviewed on BBC One by Jonathan Ross, alongside Ricky Gervais.
BBC interrupted the Bloc Party performance to show the Linkin Park performance of "What I've Done" from Tokyo.
BBC missed the start of the Metallica set joining live halfway through the first song - then switched to Crowded House from Sydney before the end of the set.
While playing "Big Bottom" Spinal Tap were joined on stage by various bass players from bands that performed during the day, as well as Metallica guitarists James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett. The BBC only showed the last minute of this song.
In the BBC studio, there was almost a standoff after Graham Norton accidentally accused James Blunt of miming. Luckily, David Tennant was sat in between them.
